FREAKS ENTITLED TO FAME
European Families That Had More
.Than Ordinary Claims to
World's Attention.
There Is living at Bilbao, Spain, a
family of seven who between them
possess no fewer than 164 fingers. One
of them has 23 fingers, another 21,
while of the remaining five each can
boast a couple of hands with 12 fin
gers apiece.
At Eoshilivo, Russia, a very similar
phenomenon exists In the fifty or more
descendants of a peasant with extra
fingers on his hands, who married at
the beginning of the last century, all
of whom ara dowered with from one
t fire fingers In excess of the normal
number.
The last surviving member of what
was perhaps the record family with
regard to weight was, In the person
of Charles Atkins, a few ears back
Interred nt Harrow, England. He
weighed 476 pounds, his brothers, who
predeceased him, being no less than
G04 and 560 pounds.
The family 'record for longevity has
not been beaten since Robert Parr, the
great-grandson of the celebrated
Thomas Parr, died In 1757 at the age
of one hundred and twenty-four. His
father lived to celebrate his one hun
dred and ninth birthday, his grand
father reached one hundred and thir
teen, while his greatgrandfather was
152 at the time of his death.
There Is mentioned In the Hnrlelan
Miscellany a Scotch weaver and his
wife who were the proud parents of
62 children, 50 of whom reached their
majority.
Large as this family was, its fame
pales before that of a Russian, one
Iran Wasslllg, who was the proud fa
ther Of 87. By his first wife he had
M (children In the following order:
Four times quadruplets at a birth,
seven times triplets and 16 times
twins. By his second spouse he had
twice triplets and six times twins.
Undoubtedly the record for misfor
tune belongs to a Belgian family
named Adnet.' The father, Jean Ad
net, was drowned ; his wife committed
suicide, while of his two sisters one
was killed by the kick of a horse and
the other by a blow received from a
falling scaffold.
Jean Adnet had six children, four
sons and two daughters. Of these the
latter perished through the overturn
ing of a pleasure boat One of the
sons was stabbed in a drunken brawl,
another was crushed to death by a
heavy wagon, while the remaining
two, who emigrated to America, were
slain in 1601 while fighting for Bal
maceda against congresslsts. Stray
